Seeing that the matter had reached a stalemate, Su Qingyu walked to Chen's side calmly.
He whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Sister-in-law, if you want me to tell you about this, it's better for you to step back and take the initiative to make the second lady your concubine."
Seeing that Mrs. Chen was about to get angry, Su Qingyu continued.
"Sister-in-law thinks that today's incident has spread, and the day after tomorrow is the big day for the eldest young master to get married. What will the Li family think of this incident now?"
"If Prince Duan continues to refuse to give up, this matter will continue to cause trouble. It is best to settle this matter before the eldest young master gets married."
"If it is true as Prince Duan said, find out the whole story. We must find out what my sister-in-law did to Yue'er. By then, my sister-in-law's reputation and the reputation of my eldest brother will be completely ruined."
"If the Li family knew that Princess Chaoyun's mother-in-law was a sinister and vicious person, I wonder if they would still be willing to marry the princess in."
Chen's thoughts were pulled by Su Qingyu's words. He knew clearly that she had no good intentions, but also knew that what she said made sense.
She didn't know why Prince Duan was angry, but he was obviously suspicious. Su Qingyu was right. If this matter was investigated, her reputation would also be involved. If Shen Ying could only enter Prince Duan's palace as a concubine, then it would be the best way for her to take the initiative and agree now.
For Mrs. Chen, her daughter, who is loved by many, is still not as good as her son. A daughter can be pampered, but she cannot block her son's way.
The palm and back of the hand are all flesh, but the palm is always protected inside. Shen Zhao is Chen's palm.
But after all, she was unwilling to be led by Su Qingyu's nose and threatened. Chen gritted his teeth and whispered: "If we really want to investigate thoroughly, you and Shen Yue's frame-up of Ying'er will not be avoided."
Su Qingyu raised a sneer on her lips without any panic, "Sister-in-law, it was only in Shen Yue's panic that she accidentally pushed Shen Ying in. Shen Yue sincerely admitted her mistake. Do you think her mother and other gentlemen would blame her? "
"As for me, I have been busy in the inner courtyard. You have nothing to do with me."
Mrs. Chen was retorted by Su Qingyu's two words. She knew in her heart that if this matter was thoroughly investigated, Shen Yue would protect herself, but she would actually be a vicious aunt.
While Mrs. Chen was still thinking, she heard Shen Zhixiu say: "Since the prince said so, then please go to the hall to have a cup of tea first. The Shen family will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Shen Zhixiu didn't understand why Shen Ying entered Prince Duan's house. Putting aside how to explain to Prince Duan, the Shen family must conduct a thorough investigation. It is necessary to find out whether there is any dirty things in the inner house involved.
When Chen Zhixiu heard what Shen Zhixiu said, he was also panicked. When she was plotting against Shen Yue, she thought that after the matter was revealed, Prince Duan would just propose marriage. She is Shen Yue's aunt, she just needs to control Shen Yue and stop her from talking nonsense. Shen Zhixiu wouldn't suspect anything, he would just think it was an accident.
She pulled Shen Zhiheng aside and whispered: "Uncle, this matter cannot be investigated."
Shen Zhiheng was stunned and complained in a low voice: "Did you really let Ying'er come here on purpose? You are so confused, how could you do such a thing. Even if I want to win over Prince Duan, I don't need my daughter to do such a thing."
Mrs. Chen bit her lower lip, wanting to tell Shen Zhiheng the truth. She wanted to tell Shen Zhiheng that it was Su Qingyu who harmed their daughter.
But if she tells the truth, she can't hide what she did to Shen Yue. Although Shen Yue was born from a concubine, she was Shen Zhiheng's daughter after all. She was afraid that once she said this, Shen Zhiheng would not let her go.
After much thought, Chen still concealed the matter. Acquiescing to Shen Zhiheng's statement, he nodded and said, "Uncle, I do it for Ying'er's own good."
When Chen said this, his heart hurt. She never thought about using her daughter to get married, but she had to admit the crime.
But even at this moment, Chen didn't think she had done anything wrong. But she resented Su Qingyu. If Su Qingyu hadn't been meddling in other people's affairs and getting in the way, things wouldn't have reached this point.
"Master, if that's the case, why don't you just agree to Prince Duan's request? I'll be your concubine, and now it's like this, what else can I do?"
Although Shen Zhiheng did not agree with Chen's approach, he even complained a little and felt sorry for his daughter. But after all, they are first wives, and the two of them share weal and woe. At this time, he could only try his best to deal with the aftermath.
He took a deep look at Chen, then turned around and walked to Shen Zhixiu.
"Lao San, this matter needs long-term consideration. Let's go to mother's place and discuss it before making a decision."
Shen Zhixiu nodded and said to Prince Duan: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. We will discuss it and we will give you a satisfactory answer."
Although he said this, Shen Zhixiu made up his mind that the Shen family would never give in without a bottom line on this matter.
The Shen family has no daughter as a concubine, and even the old lady will not agree to let Shen Ying be a concubine.
Logically speaking, Mrs. Chen should have taken care of her daughter. Shen Zhiheng could discuss these matters with the old lady on behalf of the eldest family. But Mrs. Chen didn't know what was going on, so she only asked the maid next to her to take care of Shen Ying. She followed Shen Zhiheng and others to Qingyuan Residence.
Before walking out of the gate of Beiyuan, Ms. Chen turned around and saw a figure hurriedly passing by not far away. She was confused, why did she look at the back image of Aunt Zhang?
On second thought, I was probably wrong. If Granny Zhang was a good person, this matter would not have reached this point.
According to the ruthlessness of Su Qingyu's attack, Nanny Zhang was most likely knocked unconscious and thrown into a woodshed. She couldn't care less now.
Inside Qingyuan's residence, when the old lady saw several of them coming in together, she knew that something was going on.
Only Aunt Hua was left to serve in the house, and the rest were sent away.
After everyone sat down according to age, Shen Zhiheng was the first to speak.
"Mom, it's Ying'er who's in Prince Duan's room. This matter... is my fault."
As soon as Shen Zhiheng's words came out, everyone present was stunned. Especially Chen, she didn't understand why Shen Zhiheng said that.
The old lady glanced at Shen Zhiheng, "What's going on? Tell me clearly."
Shen Zhiheng bowed slightly and started to explain.
"Mom, I have a painting that I want to give to Prince Duan. I forgot what the madam said and found someone to serve him. At that time, I just thought that Ying'er had a good relationship with the little princess, so I asked Ying'er to take it. The younger generation's thoughts, It shouldn’t be easy for him to refuse.”
"I didn't expect that Ying'er was not with the little princess, but went by herself. Prince Duan, however, thought that Ying'er was... the person I sent to serve him, and that's why such a thing happened."
Shen Zhixiu could tell at a glance that Shen Zhiheng was lying. This lie might have just been made up and there were many loopholes.
But before Shen Zhixiu could speak, Shen Zhiheng gave him a look, and Shen Zhixiu remained silent.
There was no unnecessary expression on the old lady's face, she just asked, "Tell me what you plan to do?"
Shen Zhiheng pondered for a moment, "The day after tomorrow is the day when Shen Zhao will get married. It's best not to make this matter any bigger."
"Prince Duan now suspects that our family is doing this on purpose and has some agenda. He only agreed to accept Shen Ying as his concubine."
"My son's idea is that if you want to be a concubine, you should be a concubine. Once Shen Zhao gets married smoothly and slowly plans, it doesn't necessarily mean that he won't be able to take the position of the concubine."
